Interview: SZA Talks "Z", Her Childhood, and Making Sure Her Music Is Honest (Video)

Straight outta Jersey, SZA has been on the rise ever since TDE announced her as their newest edition. Not only is she the label's first singer, she's also the crew's only female. In our sit-down, we asked her what it's like being apart of one of today's most applauded rap cliques and finding her way in the boy's club. She also opens up about her abstract song writing, her musical influences, and some of the nostalgic lyrical references she's woven into her songs.

Being such a supreme creative she is already reaching out beyond the recording studio into other mediums. But no matter what she's doing, her focus is to remain honest to herself over everything.
